CJP protest LIVE: ‘Legal cockroaches’ to demand Bar Council chairman Manan Mishra's resignation over NALSAR row
CJP protest LIVE: ‘Legal cockroaches’ will hold a protest against Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman Manan Mishra at 10am today, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) co-convenor Saurav Das announced on Wednesday.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced a protest against the Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman, Manan Mishra, on August 20 at 10am. The protesters will demand Mishra's resignation over the controversy surrounding the BCI's intervention in the NALSAR University of Law enrolment. Mishra is under fire for an order that directed state bar councils not to enrol the current batch of NALSAR graduates as advocates, which was later withdrawn following widespread criticism and protest threats.
The controversy began when NALSAR University of Law students objected to a proposal to invite Chief Justice of India Surya Kant as the chief guest for the university's convocation, citing his reported remarks during a hearing of a plea over alleged police excesses against protesters at a student demonstration.
